Jeez guys, just tell him what he's asking. The way to do this is:

- Your brother buys the gun himself in WA through an FFL. He is now the legal owner.
- Your brother then transfers the gun to you also through an FFL.

2 FFL transactions. It's the only way to do it. This also assumes it is a.) legal for him to own the gun in WA, and b.) legal for -you- to own the gun in FL.

Any sort of interstate deal voids pretty much any possibility of private transfer. It has to go through a licensed dealer.

Smartest move : visit an FFL dealer yourself before anything happens and ask him how to do it. It sucks but gun laws are unforgiving. Don't mess around.
